Fishy Story About Attempted Robbery.
PITTsBuRa, Feb. wv. G. Miller, we'll
known commission merchant of this city. re-
ports an exciting experience with trainrobbers
at Fort Wayne last night. Mr.. Miller. who was
Pullman passenger on through train which
left Chicago, for the East at g. yesterday after
noon, on the Fort Wayne road, says that wnen
the train reached Fort Wayne, shortly befose
midnight, and while awaiting to change engines
tough looking individual came into the Pull
man sleeper soliciting money for nights lodg-
ing. He was not very successful, and as he was
about to leave the car two men heavily armed
appeared at the rear door, and at the same mo-
ment three others, hourshing revovers, tried
door. Their way was barred by the
trainmen, and a hand hand struggle
ensued. Meanwhile the passengers became
panic-stricken and scene of terror prevailed.
Cries of '.Robbers" and police" and the heroic
conduct of the trainmen finally frightened the
thieves off, and in the excitement they made
good their escape The only damage done was
| the breaking of the glass in one of the doors
| of the sleeper, and few minutes later the
| train proceeded it's way east. 1t
| is supposed that the tough individual wanted to
| size up the wallets and vauabes of the passen-
gers. The officials of the Pennsylvania Com
pany know nothing of the ATTEMPTED robbery.
| Manager Baldwin, of the Fort Wayne road was
| seen by Associated Press reporter, and he
| states that he had had report os anything OF
| the kind. So far as he could learn, there had
been no trouble at Fort Wayne, or any place
